Welcome to my map thread! I am proud to have the chance to show my work to the community and in return get suggestions on how to become better as a map creator. It is also my chance to take my contributions to the community to a higher level.

Click on the pictures to find a Heroskype Google Doc Drawing. Go to File<Make A Copy... to use a map!

Still working on updates. Most likely, any older maps that didn't make BoV requirements will be dumped (and probably a lot more), with the exception of Helms Deep and possibly Esenwein's Mansion.

Like my maps? See also: My Units and Terrain.

Didn't think it was possible to do it with 2 FotA... props to you.

[heroscaper2010]

Actually it has 3 Castle sets of Ladders. ( 58 )

[Son of Arathorn]

Considering that few sets were used, well done! Very well done!

[Filthy the Clown]

I especially like the giant fridge, located on the highest battlement. What a great, thoughtful way to allow those poor saps on guard duty to enjoy a cold beverage!


Well done!

[heroscaper2010]

Thanks everyone so far for the positive feedback!!!!

[elvenwizard9]

Wow... A Helm's Deep map I actually have the terrain to make... Great job!

[heroscaper2010]

Did you take note that it uses 3 sets of castle ladders?

Also, I'm trying to get this .pdf'ed but if you want to raw VS File I'll send you it.

[heroscaper2010]

Sorry for the double post, but I have change some of the map (still same requirements), but I have taken out all the ruins in the front, and where there is an opening on the western side of the castle where the river runs through I have added a two-hex ruin (from RotV) in there. It is to sybolize where the Berzerker blows up the wall. Sadly though the top is not removable as it is part of a 7- or 9-hex from the FotA. Once I have the chance I will build the map again and take some new pictures.

Helm's Deep VS File

Follow the link and find the file, you will you won't.

Updated OP

Sorry but I could not get this pdf'ed so it is the raw VS file.

[Shedim Kabal]

So, I though "Hall of Fiends" was really cool. The height on the back end is a neat pull (so you probably don't need a t-glyph on that hex specifically), but you might be able to maximize the LoS blockers a little better; open up a few more foot paths - narrow and cavernous to follow the style.

I'm not sure that Wannok or t-glyphs are a problem on OM1, but there's no pull to the red-left end of the map, so you could probably put Wannok there and water block it.

Since rats are such a mess in the tight spaces, I like having the two t-glyphs to give something for heroes.

[heroscaper2010]

I have decided to make this my official map thread for the sake of making another thread. So without further a due, I present, Hall of Fiends V.2:



I don't why picnik won't let me add numbers (for my full username). Darn picnik and I really don't want to use paint. Any suggestions?

I am free to all suggestions and criticism. I will hopefully have an updated version of Helms Deep up within the next week, too.
